I think it’s fair to say Sandy Cove in North Devon has perhaps the most beautiful aspect of any wedding venue along the North Devon coastline. The Venue is set in its own cove at the cliff top and provides the most breathtaking backdrop. I can remember the first time I visited and was just blown away by that view. Not only is the view from Sandy Cove spectacular but it is constantly shifting and evolving. It really is the perfect venue to hold your wedding. Now imagine having your wedding ceremony next to that gazebo with all your family and friends with that backdrop. I know it’s amazing. Who wouldn’t want that view in their wedding photographs?

Sandy Cove is the sort of venue that attracts a crowd that want a fully catered for experience. The food is pretty amazing too. You can watch the chefs prepare all that delicious food behind glass within The Venue.  The waiters sweep up the carefully prepared dishes and serve each table while you sit back and enjoy the fantastic hospitality. Even better in the summer with the big open glass doors where you can appreciate the magnificent scenery with the sound of the ocean and seagulls filtering through. It really is perfect! 

As I am a North Devon wedding photographer Sandy Cove is a venue I have been lucky enough to visit on many different occasions, I only live 30 minutes away. It is always fun to capture weddings at The Venue. It is one of my favourite wedding venues in North Devon without a doubt and I never tire of that perfect view.

After you have readied yourself for the ceremony; the long path leading up to the gazebo and your expectant partner is always an amazing and emotional moment. The nervousness and anticipation as you walk along with your father is palpable, and leads on to the most perfect wedding day. The beautiful scenery just enhances your ceremony as you say your vows. In those moments of quiet you will hear the gulls and the distant lapping of the surf on the shore. While you sign the register there is nothing but the sky walk between you and the ocean. It is so tranquil and romantic. You will love it. 

The sky walk is perhaps the most popular location to have those romantic photos you have dreamed of. It is such a classic wedding location. There is also the opportunity to head down to Coombe Martin, only 5 minutes away, for some lovely couple shots. Providing the tide is out there are some beautiful  locations to take advantage of for your wedding photos.

Wedding Photography at Sandy Cove in North Devon

Sandy Cove is in an area of outstanding natural beauty. The Venue is situated in a stunning and secluded location with views towards Exmoor National Park and the Atlantic coast. As you can probably guess I really enjoy capturing weddings at Sandy Cove and would love to photograph your wedding there too.  I work as a documentary photographer as I do not want to intrude too much. My photography is about the real moments you enjoy and miss throughout your day. I search out those interactions between you, your family and friends. Whilst you enjoy your wedding day and get swept along with the excitement, I will be looking for those shots that you will be able to look back on to relive your day. 

When I arrive I say my hello’s and I then I am instantly on the move looking for those moments that help tell the story of your day.  I really don’t want to miss anything. Your day will go very quickly and I want to catch it all for you to enjoy forever.
